Chapter 104 He Was Jealous
Hubert returned to his position with a calm face. After the dishes were served, he started to eat. No matter what the two friends were talking about, he kept silent.
The scene of Teresa smiling and serving food to Ezra appeared in his mind again and again.
"Hubert, you are a little weird today."
Dean took a mouthful of food. Then he looked at Hubert who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Why do you eat without saying a word today?"
Morgan nodded his head in agreement.
Hubert said lightly, "I'm hungry."
He ate rice rolls that he didn't like in the morning. In fact, the amount was not much. He was really hungry.
To be honest, he was in a bad mood.
When he was in a bad mood, he just ate to camouflage his unhappiness.
Hubert murmured in his heart, "She brought food to Ezra, but I don't want it. It has nothing to do with me. Does she think I will be jealous?"
He said earlier, he would never be jealous.
They were just a fake couple and they had signed an agreement. In their private life, no one should interfere with anyone else. If she planned to find a new home in advance, he would turn a blind eye to it as long as she and Ezra did not live together during the marriage.
Hubert enlightened himself in his heart.
However, the scene of Teresa and Ezra chatting and laughing always appeared in his mind.
Both of his friends knew that Hubert finally married the person who rescued his grandma because he could not stand being nagged by grandma. Hearing that he was hungry, Morgan pulled his leg, "Aren't you married? How did your wife have the heart to starve you? Isn't there a good breakfast for you?"
When he met Hubert at the company to invite him to have breakfast, Hubert always declined his invitation and explained that he had a wife. He knew Hubert was showing off.
Morgan tugged at the clothes that Hubert was wearing today, "Why do you still wear the clothes you bought yourself as you have your wife."
Hubert got rid of Morgan's hands and said with an indifferent expression, "She and I are just a couple in name, and occasionally we pretend to show it to my grandma."
Teresa was busy talking and laughing with Ezra. She even served dishes for Ezra but didn't have time to make breakfast for him. She just bought rice rolls valued at several dollars outside for him to eat.
He didn't like the rice rolls very much in fact. He forced himself to eat them, considering that she bought them and would feel it was too wasted if he threw them away.
In addition, the clothes she bought for him last time were just a suit jacket and a few ties. She didn't buy him a few sets of casual clothes at all. "I couldn't wear suits at home on weekends, right?" Hubert thought.
Oh, yes, she bought him a few suits because he accompanied her to deal with the trending topic. She was grateful, so she gave him a few suits. That was the reward!
"Tsu, I almost believed that you are a real couple because you are just like a model couple in the usual. I was thinking about whether to get married immediately."
Morgan smiled and said to Dean, "Dean, you know what? I almost think about ending my single life because they are so sweet in their daily life. I am so jealous of them."
Dean smiled and said, "Then take your time. You are handsome, rich, and educated. As soon as the marriage proposal is revealed, many women will apply."
He was different.
Although his background was not bad, the scar on his face was frightening. He had no girlfriend, not only because he has not met someone he liked, but also because his face was disfigured.
Dean was tall and mighty, with a scar on their face, giving people the feeling of being too ferocious.
Dean didn't care. He didn't intend to do something for love or marriage-- he was just drifting.
He didn't want to be forced by his grandmother to marry a woman he didn't like as his good friend, Hubert.
Even if it was a fake couple or a hidden marriage, Dean was not happy.
Hubert listened to the two friends joking, didn't speak anymore, and continued to have his lunch.
Soon, he was full.
"I'm going to visit my grandma's cafe. Help yourself."
Putting down his chopsticks, he wiped the oil stains around his mouth with a tissue and got up to leave.
"We are also full. Let's go with you."
Dean and Morgan also put down their chopsticks and went to the Violet Cafe next door with Hubert.
The bodyguards had already had enough to eat and drink. Seeing that their eldest young master was leaving, they silently got up and walked out quietly to protect the eldest young master.
They were afraid of disturbing the eldest young hostess.
Their eldest young hostess was eating with the young master of the Porter family. Mr. Porter had seen their eldest young master before, so they cannot disturb the eldest young hostess. Otherwise, the identity of the eldest young master would be exposed.
Dean went to checkout.
Morgan waited for him to check out and then went out with him, whispering as he walked, "Dean, do you think Hubert is weird today? He was still not so indifferent as he came."
Everyone knew Hubert was calm and cold. However, when he was with friends in private, he would not be so cold but more tender.
"I think he changed after he went to the bathroom."
Morgan suddenly stopped, turned to go back, and said, "I'll go see what he encountered in the bathroom."
Dean grabbed him and dragged him out. He had no choice but said "Even if he saw something, could it keeps as it was and wait for you to see? Hubert has always been like this. You must think too much."
Dean didn't think there were people and things that could make Hubert change his face in an instant.
Hubert was calm. He always faced difficulties without batting an eye.
"I don't think about it too much. He must have encountered something that made him suddenly cold."
Morgan was really curious to know what Hubert saw in the bathroom. He whispered, "Dean, could it be that he felt unlucky to see a couple in the bathroom?"
Dean was speechless.
"I really want to have a look. Maybe it's not over yet."
As Morgan said, he planned to go back again. However, he was pulled by Dean. Dean said, "Do you think this is a nightclub? This is a place to eat. We come here often, and we are familiar with the boss. If someone really dares to do things like that, the boss will definitely drive them away."
"If you want to know the reason, why don't you ask Hubert directly."
Dean was somewhat rough. Morgan thought for a while, then smiled, "Forget it. I won't ask him. Even though I ask him, he won't tell me. You see, he is in a bad mood now."
"If you ask me, it's just that you sweat it. Hubert's temperament has always been like this. We are old friends. You also know him well."
Leaving the restaurant, Dean walked directly to Violet Cafe.
Morgan followed.
It was because he was an old friend for many years that he could perceive the subtle change in Hubert's mood.
